    Are you suggesting Sparks isn't making the required changes behind the scenes but just saying he is? That would be quite a stupid thing to do really as he would be found out pretty soon.

    No, he is not saying what we want to hear-he is saying it how it is and good on him for being so honest.

    You've read me wrong mate I like what I hear as I've posted a few times he comes across as a breath of fresh air compared with others in the past.

    Fair enough. It was the bit about what we want to hear that didn't ring true.

    @Fordy117@Fordy117, do you recall the close season when everyone knocked us back, and Edin had to appoint Collins? I hope we're not going to suffer a repeat!

    Thinking out loud

    Work permits? but if that had to be organised well in advance so it sadly isn’t the German.
    By previous agreement cannot manage another club within a certain timescale (Helping the club in advance isnt managing)

    Don’t know?

    So do I Kevin, he is making himself available and he is being as open as we could realistically hope for. As for the manager and involvement in retained list, I did say there are ways this could be done without it being blatant (so it could be Adams) but I am yet to be convinced it is him

    I may be reading too much into this but he was asked about investment and he said we're investing in the squad and investing in the manager and then said 'don't forget that's an investment too'. That could mean several things...

    - we're paying someone a good salary, perhaps better than the average league two manager

    - we're paying compensation to someone to secure the manager

    - we're going for the new managers targets that are not cheap

    - or he was just replying using the same word used in the question - investment :laughing:

    Anyway, it stuck in my mind so thought it was worth mentioning.
